Just one quick bitch ...

[SBI_Patience]

Meadow is pretty bitchy, guys.

But is she quick?

Hmmm... I had that discussion with a i2 member about it the other day and I asked that very same question.

A friend was fired today.

I'm sorry, that sucks.

A friend was fired today.

I'm sorry, that sucks. 

Yes, and I feel responsible for it because I was the one to persuade him to switch jobs.

Not your fault though, you didn't know this would happen. Was it a downsizing?

yeah. Not enough work, and he was the last to be hired.

Eh, you  couldn't have predicted this. I hope he finds something soon.

You said he switched jobs...what did he do before? Does he have skills in other fields?

[odeon]

He is a developer and moved from a competitor to us right before the financial crisis. He is skilled enough and things are improving, so I hope there is a job waiting for him somewhere.

I bet he will be all right. Things are scary, though. People far more educated and qualified than I are out of work. 

[odeon]

Yeah, it's a scary world.

[The_Chosen_One]

Yeah, it's a scary world.

If he has the money behind him he could travel for a bit to get a break before he decides to get back into job-hunting.

But as cbc said, it ain't your fault. Last on first off can usually be the rule in some places.
